Fools Gold

G
Well, a truest test of a man's good name
     Am
is acceptance of failure and losing a game,
       C                      Cm                    G
with a smile and a handshake, quiet every building rage

G
I got knocked around in a real small town,
         Am
and they poked and and they prodded and marched me around,
       C                 Cm                        G
for a laugh in the snow, try to tear a good man's soul

      G
For a fool's gold, a beggar's bargain
Am
too much time, space to get lost in,
     C                 D                     G
it's one for the road, two if you can let it go.
G
Blood's thick, but water's deeper,
     Am
the wine works fine, but the whiskey's cheaper
    C                D                          G
Now turn it around, quick before your sun goes down.

G
Well, I see you found yourself a damn fine game,
        Am
you can lines on your mind and ounces to say,
         C      Cm                         G
but it's okay, we've both seen our darker days.

G
But it's like you never saw a sucker before,
      Am
been alive on the side of your bedroom door,
        C                 Cm                      G
with an ear on the phone, beggin' just to let it go.

      G
For a fool's gold, a beggar's bargain
Am
too much time, space to get lost in,
     C                 D                     G
it's one for the road, two if you can let it go.

Now turn it around, quick before your sun goes down.

I said, now turn it around, quick before your sun goes down.
